Navigating Dysphagia in Child Developmental Communication Disorders Using Telepractice Methods
Abstract
Childhood and adolescence are crucial periods for physical and cognitive development, and dysphagia can negatively impact growth and development. Telepractice offers accessibility, convenience, and flexibility for pediatric dysphagia patients, allowing parents to engage with healthcare professionals from home while promoting a familiar setting and reducing travel. However, technical obstacles, limited physical assessment, and privacy concerns must be addressed. The aim of this chapter is to thoroughly pinpoint modern diagnostic and intervention methods performed by trained specialists to ensure accurate diagnosis and aid in the development of an individualized rehabilitation program in the era of telepractice. Critical considerations for the current and future usage of telepractice in pediatric dysphagia services are mainly presented in this chapter. Prioritizing feeding and swallowing problems are essential for survival and social engagement, making telepractice an innovative and sustainable solution for children with developmental communication disorders.
